Guppies are one of the most popular fishes among aquarists and are considered best-sellers among retailers. They are also one of the most ideal species of fish for beginners because of their ability to survive tough aqaurium conditions. Known scientifically as Poecilia reticulate, guppies can be found either as wild or domestic varieties and come in different sizes, color and with varying fin configurations. They can be fed and bred easily and best thrive in aquariums with clean, slightly alkaline, well-aerated water kept at temperatures between 70-77 degrees fahrenheit.
